Ah, now there's something "we" need to do. I'm not sure exactly what because my direction basically consists of him saying "We need to get some stuff together on that." He knows all the "something" about the "that" so, I'm basically waiting for him to go through his files to come back and dictate it to me, so that I can then write it down. Would it not work more efficiently to cut out the middle man (me)?
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

She also went on about how her current tenant was leaving because he was upset at her for coming in to his place (which I suspect was a room with a bathroom, and not a studio as advertised) unannounced.
So I'm thinking Cordy's apartment search woes in "Rm w/a Vu" resonated pretty strongly with you?

hayden, congratulations! Glad to hear you have a few more days before work.
Not just a tiger, but an old, tired tiger. That's bizarre.

We had a jaundice scare last week, Cindy. And he's been colicky at night -- I had the midnight to 5 am shift of rocking & singing to the baby. But his bilirubin counts are well within normal ranges now, and he's actually managed to get through the last two nights without inconsolable crying. I got 5 hours of unbroken sleep! My wife only got 3, though, 'cause he still needs to eat; he's just not losing his temper as much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Curse my 80s-centric brain. I am now earwormed with Jon Bon Jovi. Grrr.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've now discovered Trojan earworms. They go dormant when I get distracted, and then someone posts the word "earworm" and now "Leaving (on a jet plane)" is right back in my brain.

What is even happening?
We had a jaundice scare last week, Cindy. And he's been colicky at night -- I had the midnight to 5 am shift of rocking & singing to the baby.

My wife only got 3, though, 'cause he still needs to eat; he's just not losing his temper as much.I missed that. I'm sorry. I'm glad he's well, now. Five hours is great. I remember thinking if I could just get four, I could rule the world. I hope he starts stretching it out a little soon, for your wife's sake. Colicky? Urgh. My deepest sympathies. I'm so glad you could push off returning to work. It's so hard from the mother's side, because her body is so beat by the pregnancy, labor, delivery, blood and fluid loss, recovery, and sleep loss, nursing, etc., etc., etc.
Did they tell you to keep your curtains open and let Abe (great name!!!) get some daylight? I suspect my Ben's jaundice was milder because we didn't have an actual scare, but I remember the pediatrician telling me to do that, in the hospital.

Thanks, Cindy. Yeah, Abe's getting regular sun. I think the doctors over-reacted to the bili count, anyway, demonstrating the same sort of lawsuit medicine that lead us to go with an independent birthing center in the first place. My wife's mother left abruptly on Monday (we still don't know if we offended her or what, but at this point, our level of concern over that is pretty low), so I'm glad to have the extra time. My wife is recovering well, but she's still pretty beat up from the birth. I'd stay out of work for longer if I could, but I'm afraid I'd put myself on the list of people to fire when the time is ripe if I did.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, Betsy, and others who have done PT, I have a question. Given that I am leaving here in less than 2 months and already have a relationship with a chiropractor who gives me exercises to do and such things, does it make sense to start a relationship with a physical therapist now. Shouldn't I just wait until I get to Palo Alto?
